Costa Rica

As I lulled in a pristine infinity pool with a rum spiked fresh fruit smoothie in hand overlooking a family of howler monkeys dancing from branch to branch along a canopy of jungle, I felt like I’d reached the peak of hollibobs relaxation.

As you may already know from my ramblings on Facebook, in January, I am travelling to Costa Rica and Nicaragua to volunteer as Communications Officer for the charity, Raleigh International.

For three months, I will be reporting on the life-changing work volunteers from across the globe are doing on each project site in Costa Rica and Nicaragua via the charity’s blog and social media platforms.

Why have I decided to do this, I hear you say…

After my 16 month trip around the world, I vowed that my next challenge would be to take some time to volunteer for a charity. During my backpacking trip, I witnessed first-hand the heart-wrenching difficulties certain countries are going through.
